[quote=Anonymous]So, my kid was officially diagnosed with ADD in 8th grade. At 10 they were diagnosed with Anxiety and went into thetherapy. About 18 months later they started anti-anxiety drugs. That helped some but we still had a lot of behavioral issues that impacted academics. In 8th grade we got the full neuropsych and got the ADD diagnosis. They started Adderol and it has made a HUGE difference. They are a much happier kid all around. They only take the meds on school days or when they are working. ADD and anxiety are often hand in hand. In our case, the anxiety was masking the ADD and we only got to the underlying cause of the anxiety (ADD) after we got it under control. They were having full on tantrums and completely unable to control their emotions pre-medication. [/quote]
